Bleaching is a recent phenomenon in Somalis compared to Arab and Asian groups. I have also never met a Somali girl born or raised in the west that did. At least with us, you know our skin tone, whether light, medium or dark, is 100% natural.
Is it me or Diaspora Somalis FAR light-skinned then our counterparts back home?
Like It's not even a boy-girl thing I'm talking in general. Not saying we don't have Darkskins, ofc we do but the ones back home typically are darker then us; on average.
Does this have something to do with the climate we've been raised in? Food we eat? honestly don't know wallahi. food for thought ig.
